Is there a decent DIY solution? Or should I just order a bunch of the MAG pump filters?

go to the evestrough section in home depot. they have a plastic mesh that is about 4 to 6" wide and comes in white or dark brown. I used PVC glue (several coats) to glue it to the end of PVC pipe for a mantus screen.
